I only just got my rigid truck license and all this weight distribution and loading techniques are melting my head

Spread axle you can do 20,000 per axle so you can hold 40,000 in the back

Water weighs 8 lbs. Diesel fuel weighs 6. I mentioned that to another guy on KZfaq and he claimed he researched it and came up with literature from Chevron that said 7 pounds. That’s fine, but in 19 years every gallon I’ve bought weighed 6. Today I load three to six times per day and I haul over 86,000 lbs. of my 88,000 lb. limit, so I know that it still weighs 6. It would be nice if it did weigh 8. If it weighed 8 or more, you could extinguish a fuel fire with water. It would take a lot of water, because a fuel fire is very hot, but you could do it.

The light works as center for a spread axle. Since you can haul more on the spread than on the drives

Does that axle not spread? With a spread axle you're allowed 40,000lbs on the trailer

When I went into shipper I went on with full tanks of fuel ... The shipper gonna deal with it ... I won't run a load 1000 miles and have stop ever 100 to 150 miles to throw 50 to 75 gallons on ...

Just a guess, but his company probably goes to British Columbia quite a bit and my understanding is they don’t allow spread axles.

Can you do a video on how to rope bind your tarp?

Good Video! Guys just one question to anyone who would know - what is the average floor capacity per M2 / ft2 for good curtain sider? Where this information can be found? We've got 2 package of 8x6 ft (2.5 x 1.9 meters) and weight is 24000lbs (12 ton) and the freight forwarder says only flat bed can take them because of concentrated weight on small area, but I thing at least one can be transported if loaded closer to axles point but the freight forwarders doesn't agree. What do you think?

Two things to remember, diesel weighs 7 Lbs. per gallon, water weighs 8, that's why oil floats... Also never buy a trailer that doesn't have a spread or sliding tandems, only cheap fleets use fixed tandems because they don't care if the driver has to re-load. Nice job tarping!

Right but by calculating 8 you never have to worry about being too heavy. I agree, because even a sliding spread axle is better than a fixed random and you can still run in CA
